The goal of the current report was to evaluate the initial development of Anadenanthera macrocarpa (Benth.) Brenan.) and Hymenaea stigonocarpa Mart. ex Hayne intercropped with cassava (Manihot esculenta Cranz.). The experimental design was a randomized block design with sub-divided plots and four repetitions. The treatments tested in the plots were the cultivation with the cassava (Manihot esculenta) and in the subparcels the fertilization with 200 g simple superphosphate. The survival percentage, height, stem diameter of tree species and biomass of cassava were evaluated. The survival rates for H. stigonocarpa and A. macrocarpa were 95% and 99%, respectively. The highest ratio of relative growth in diameter and height was observed for A. macrocarpa. The cassava productivity was not affected by the arboreous plants, therefore cassava may be intercropped with these tree species.
